Firstly- Thank you for an ARC in exchange for a review!
I'm very picky when it comes to dark romance, and I think this hit every point I look for- clear and communicated CWs, the darkness, the romance, and both parties were into it?? Check, check, check, and check!
Man, this HIT. "The Boy meets Phantom of the Opera" was what got me, and I stayed for the lush writing because MAN that was DELISH. The settings felt vivid and the stakes felt high. I went in expecting a fun twisty romp and, yes, we did get that, but I was surprised to find myself kind of going "wait... Yes, actually." I thoroughly enjoyed myself, especially in terms of this being a dark horrormance (horror and romance? A portmanteau in my review? More likely than you'd think).
If you want a dark romance with some horror elements that gives "oh he's ✨ unhinged ✨, but she's into it, hell yeah", I say give this a go! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to binge everything else Shaye Madison has written.

I wasn't getting Phantom of the Opera vibes for a bit but I am now! Overall I'm enjoying this as a dark romance, which for me is difficult because I'm picky.
